TENDER + FIERCE

 Tender Fierce is the dance between power and softness

~the animal instinct that knows when to roar and when to rest.

In this Heartbeat journey, we explore the emotional currents that live inside that edge: the boundaries that keep us safe, the tenderness that keeps us connected.

When we allow both strength and sensitivity to coexist,

something profoundly human opens.

Through movement, breath, and rhythm, we practice meeting life as it is—

with a wild heart and open hands.

Come as you are, ready to move from the inside out.

"MOVE'n'REST"

 “Life is a balance between rest and movement.” Osho

This workshop is a wonderful opportunity to practice both the power of moving and the art of resting. Whether in the dance hall or on the beach, in the shade, on the waves or having an ice-cream, we will be discovering the beauty, wisdom, gifts, and challenges in both moving and resting, while looking for the essential balance. We will be dancing for 2 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the evening, which leaves plenty of precious time for enjoying other benefits of being on an island, being with oneself, with nature, with others. Every day we will explore one of the 5 Rhythms in depth.
